Sporting Goods Store in Watford City, North Dakota

Sunward Steel Buildings delivered this pre-engineered steel building kit to a client in Watford City, North Dakota, in November 2020.

The building, fabricated in-state, is now an archery, hunting, and sporting goods store located just outside a local sportsman’s club. The durable, low-maintenance metal retail building has a clear-span design that eliminates the need for interior columns, freeing up more space for displays, shelves, hunting blinds, bows and arrows, and more.

The exterior of the building has a traditional barn-style look, featuring Rustic Red exterior paint and complementing Polar White trim. The inside of the metal sporting goods store has wood panels lining the walls, creating a look and feel reminiscent of a log cabin.

Low-Maintenance Metal Retail Buildings

Often designed and erected for use as grocery stores, malls, strip malls, and other commercial operations, prefabricated steel retail buildings are a popular alternative to wooden stores due to their superior durability and highly customizable nature. This particular metal retail store stands strong against heavy snow, strong winds, extreme temperatures and other North Dakota construction hazards that can wreak havoc on wood structures, giving the business owner a dry, warm space to sell goods and conduct business.

A fast-growing city in west-central North Dakota, Watford City is the county seat of McKenzie County. The community sits about 47 miles from Williston and about an 86-mile drive from Dickinson.
